I have a 1DS3 and find that 21mp is very good.

I would upgrade my 1D4 with a 1D5 with 22mp and 1.3 crop. I might not worry about the f/8 focussing at that point either

Wow, that's a lot of people.  Let's round it up to an even 100.  With that many interested customers, to defray the R&D costs, Canon will only have to charge about $78,000 per camera.

To maintain my position as the top, rich, talentless amateur I would be up for 2 at that price

which will sell less that that! ;)

Did they have to design and develop a new sensor for the 1D C? 

Canon issued a service advisory for the 5DIII light leak, which was basically an Internet forum phenomenon.  That clearly shows that Canon pays attention to boards like this.  It's likely they do what amounts to market research here, too.  If so, the fact that over 70% of people responsing here see no need for a high-MP body, and the fact that after three days, not even 100 people have signed that petition, is a solid indication that the market sees no need for a high-MP body.  Congratulations - you may be helping to kill the very product you seem to want.   :o

I will not say 79 out of 44000+ members of this forum but even 79 out of about 7200 members that have more than zero posts (240 pages * 30 members/page) is not a great analogy either.
